Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy belated, Sail!

HIMYM was totally my life right now.

Poor dislocated bon bon.

“Not dead yet!”

Which one? The Book of Tiki?

Actually, no. ::marks to go back and look at later::

I have Tiki Modern and Tiki Road Trip, because yes, there is a road trip involved. Hopefully along with the Road Trip USA book and the 1964 Texaco Road Atlas I got off eBay, I'll be able to recreate a fairly decent cross-country journey.

Let me know if you need any detailed background information. (or music - I've got tons) My column was titled Tiki Noir and I tracked down tiki bar scenes in old vintage hardboiled fiction from the fifties and sixties.

Excellent! And thank you! I may well hit you up on that offer.

Have you seen the movie I Am Cuba? I presume so - but if not, it's got an amazing scene in a Tiki-ish nightclub in Havana.

Actually, I haven't-- given its provenance as a propaganda documentary, it didn't seem to suit my purposes for the research, but I've heard it's an amazing piece of film, regardless. The one I saw that was absolutely beautiful was The Lost City.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Steve Edwards is not an adequate substitute!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

wonder what a LA1 would look like. probably way too much pretty.

the other day I was in Bed Bath & Beyond, and was THE ONLY CUSTOMER IN THE STORE.

so wrong. although there is a very isolated BB&B closeish to me and I have been in there early on a Sat with only a handful of people.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Did you know that there is a BB&B in Tribeca? I went there on a Saturday, and it was nearly empty too. Nobody knows about it!

When I was in NYC in July, I was stunned to find a BB&B right on Broadway and 67th, or so. It kills me how these stores I'm so accustomed to seeing as huge stand alone buildings or at the very least, as anchors for a strip mall, just blend into the cityscape.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

We have a BB&B in town - right near the Target!

The BB&B way on the east side by the 59th St bridge is not busy either, IME.

Yeah, it's kind of weird how we have all the big box stores now.

ION, I'm home sick and asked my minion to figure something out online for me. She wrote back saying it looks like you have to register on some site to figure it out. OK...so register! I'm not so sure about this new minion.
